Responding to this PLC said, "You Won't." Singh was removed from the post of the chief minister by Congress last September. However, the PLC has declared its alliance with BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt).

Meanwhile, the elections will be held to elect 117 members of the Legislative Assembly in Punjab. This year the main competition will be between two ruling parties  Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The Punjab election was going to be held on a single-phase on February 14 but now it changed to 20th February.
